In the old pub
That a change in style had not replaced
Sat a couple
In drinking pints no shame
Dressed up to the nines like somewhere to go
This their local,This their show

Old music played some song from then
A smile cracked ,his toes began
She looked at him with fonded eyes
Proud to be sat on his side

His flattened cap began to quiver
as broken hands came out a shiver
Many times had come and gone
Yet here they were and this their song

His rise of proud'ness won her heart
In a flutter time to start
Dancing shoes all for the ready
Whisked away a shimmer Freddie

Year's no age this time was their's
Dancing laughing life's weekend beer  
Many more for them to come
Down the Old dog and Partridge... done !!!

The old men sat at their stools hunched over
through grooves of time
Jars of beer drunk and some to be had
not knowing this thirst could be just their last
Quiet chatter of a talken past through
a fog of noises removed of facts

This was their future from a bleaken haze
a past so forgotten in a drunken place
families back home awaiten the call
return to méh₂tēr not seen the forgotten sons

Sadness missed in a home where children had played  
too the drinking hole lure a life gone astray
the old men still sat to a glow painted over
that was never in place to a beer flowing lover
all lost in all grace through tobacco end hands
feeding the beard stained in years gone in romance

No memories left on the stone face of death
as the flowers did fail to fall gone in a breath
a quite hymn sung from the mourners that come
yet scatter all quickly once dust is in done
they know where to go drink beer and say Joe
the old man...god lay him to rest

we knew it was there
that smile that love
of the air
she hid it all from view
but we all knew ..time would do

a smile so far away
a talent wasted...day after day
but a fight was there we see .
a smile carried
for love set her free

as time took its toll
the fight fought through hell
thus lovers swelled
but we know there is time
for futures fortune
and love so yet untold

as flowers come into bloom
she would follow
predicted va ...voom
so hold ya breath once more
as new beginings come through your door

The open window

The open window showed no life inside yet a shadow fell
stooped over a desk the lonely man wallowed in the paperwork ..
that bestowed him for many years yet why have this honour
an honour of chains that gave many links to the time served
he looked as he always did into the outside world from once he did live
a life so far away ..a family lost in the grind of the day that was his dream
now faded away

The open window showed a life that never lived ..a chance once missed
a dream one wish.. yet paperwork came with money.. yet no fame..
eyes looked out yet no light shone ..all gleam gone a future done
the man shook his head as he remembered good time remembered the best
stooped over his desk as ink dried pushing his pen
a picture nearby that nearly brought a smile as he reached to touch
a ring that shatterd the silence in him another call another meeting
The open window closed as the cold wind washed inside .they say
fortune favours the brave

I'll see you on the other side
I'll meet you there OK
Just take the time to make it there
Safe as you could be...

See the other side means lots to lots
and nothing to someone
But me and you will come again
be joined to be as one

So I'll see you on the other side
a wonder waits for me
I'll see you on the other side
let all my dreams see's thee

Our time will come just you to me
the other side is calling.. let you be  
There is no back to look upon
No looking out for your return
from once you come and now you go
The future stays leaving....life a history chase

I so need some peace
I need whole release
so listen to my heart
see my life falling....fall apart

Save me from this fall
my world is spinning ...world all turn
I so need some want
some love
some heart

watch me slip away
watch my day turn
the other way

The place of the lost souls brought no resemblance to the reality that surrounded them
In their world the end only came as the bell of time sounded its echo's through clouded thought's
As I entered their domain the faded memories flooded to my senses,times from the past brought a sadness to my glow.
I was once part of this scene
I was once into the show
A place for the ended ... one place left to go

The bar fitted like a glove that never left ,a stool made for worship.this place where I rest
And so I looked around
Familiar faces older and darker and closer to the place we all fail to want ,bearded features followed where once clean cut chins held aloft .
Mumbles from silence only showed in the crowd as the deserted wanted nothing, nothing but silence.  
My place was once this home,these bodies once my friends.I know now that their spell did once near lead me
Lead me well to the end.
The tree had its markers, a shudder in me showed.The place was un special, no more about those hours be heard.
And like an old friend the nectar returned,my glass tasted heaven as the buzz into orbit entered my veins,the rush of that feeling gave me the power.Power to rule my enemies,power to fight the fight .Oh sweet sweet nectar how missed could you be as golden as honey as sweet as a peach.
My hook was inserted the fogginess faded and the trap lay before me as my thirst for the power returned.
Was then I knew like I always knew that I was lost, I was soulless, I was one of them and that my end had been written,written to end

My eyes see
Yet the don't understand

They think I'm a freak
Freak of the land

They gaze at me wanting
My need for success

They think I'm a madman
I know I'm the blessed

They dont get my picture
The skill I do waste

A madness inside me
A waste of this space

One day they'll remember
The drink we once had

The drink with that poet
No handed they grasp

You know just from the sound that rain has come your way
a freshness in the air a greyness in the day
it rained on jubilee like never rained all year
a wash down in our street fair
a dampness in the air

I like a bit of rain please say all of in the night
but in the day of celebrate a deluge was our sight
the spirit of the nation took over from the pour
to wish our queen a longer reign and thank her from our hearts

They stood all day and waved away and smiled from ear to ear
they are our family said and all our royals through the years
To stand with honour in anthem sung I waved our nations flag
a proudness in the nation back our wondrous union jacks
  
we saw her dance and clap in thanks for many hard at work
to celebrate her 60 years.... a life all in life ..one job
a million lined the banks to see a thousand boats in line
this was a day to celebrate our nations joy and pride

As my nightmare finished
My mind began its wake
What was that dream inside my head
If only it was fake

I'd woken with a panic
His rage left me for dead
The colour of his face still shines
The mist was crimson red

It's crazy ..
See .....

I'm all tucked up in bed
But rage upon this face of his
has left me out of breath

Such pain before my mindful eyes
Why was this thought in here
This madness from my sleepless wake
Left me a troubled fear

Still two days on and still I feel
That look that scared me out
Those eyes still shone of red
Up here
His anger not in doubt

The trouble from this raging soul
Was playing me
My head  
My inner peace still broken here
I need some kindness fed

I dare not sleep
It's 5 am
I'm scared to close my eyes
The anger and the rage from
Him
Has left me terrified

What do I do
Please help me out
I need some inner calm
The raging man inside of here
Is showing all his charm

The day rolls over as the winds blow in
sullen in the sky from a grey dark moon
darkness in the air yet still in the eve
moon is my enemy this fullness maddened dream

This dredge to awaken another blackened morn
yellow in my sunshine din dry these tears nor gorn  
This life brings another day bore out the grin
forgotten pleasures given in to sin  

A sigh from a future that mentored the past
into the middle as cold from the glass
drink to the bottom forget all the gloom
Dark moon is still waiting my madness consume

My face in the picture you don't understand
the darkness of madness hidden command
smile to the flash that reddens these eyes
out comes the devil you've seen his disguise

Relish the day when the moon hides its shadow
break out the party and dance to the fiddle
sing to the stars that bless you a twinkle
open your arms to the world
be the riddle

the roadside ghosts are there to see
crosses bear lifes misery
yet we trundle flying by
wishing.... hoping ...its not our time

I see their faces and feel the pain.. the ghosts standing waiting shame
the fog that shows them in the light only coming out when night
why can me and only me see the ghostly shapes that be
the roadside ghosts i fear them most
feel the creeping
shivers me whole

The dreamy sea washed ashore bringing
little bubbles of life to its end
Children splashed and jumped as wave after wave fell in
Bucket and ***** at the ready as castles from the sky
formed from minds in youth and fairy tales
Cream at the ready as grandads cap retreats  
crisped from the comfort of his strippy deckchair he waits  
Mothers blankets blown from the wind held down by
a shoe to be lost and a stone found yet not cast

These were the days we remember
These are the days we forget
These are the days to be treasured
A fine sad old memory from a past we most had    

Ice cream sounds calling at fathers request
Is grandma still yawning from bingo's night fest
a donut for mother all sugared and warm
don't forget Charlie as woof is all heard
A match game of cricket from children about
or footy at lunchtime sweet sand in your mouth


These were the days we remember
These are the days we forget
These are the days to be treasured
A fine sad old memory from a past we most had  

Asleep from the sun and a sneaky quick pint
as dad tries to doze be free to unwind
A call for 3 strikes as rounders is found
hear grandad all snoring more cream to be crowned  
Tis time for a dip to twinkle your toes
to jump back a mile oh blimey its cold

These are the memories all children should have
a time when no phones when a time wasn't planned
No little computers to spoil the day
just fun and great memories of children at play
A time when your family all joined in the fun
a shame we have lost this to greed and the sun

The second sun glowed deep into the night as my path lay open
only the few could see the sorrow in my eyes as the light faded
yet the glow grew wider as my heart cried out
I was the wrong side of the road

My madness enriched from the fullness of tide
yet quelled from a loved one my love of my life
times like these are so special and rare
to face the end no worries gone fear

I stepped over the line to come back to this time
a happier person a whole brand new life
me is back me again until the glow shows
a sign from the second sun I fear my heart woes

My eyes warmed to the sight of the second sun
These wrinkles of life formed shadows on my brow
To beams of life heating and turning my very skin

This was the new way
The new life
The new stage

We bow to your love as heat becomes warmth
Night becomes day and day becomes all
No time to gaze to a timeless wall
  
This was the new way
The new life
The new stage

Our second sun now in in our world in our life in our souls
Pray your thoughts to the the new way
The have say
The second law
I muse to your thoughts

They creep and follow where none do go
the shadows hunt the light no show
I felt them want to take my depth reachin ..wanting darkness letch
pray that light does shine on through ..the shadows follow wanting you

Feel ther coldness and so cold ..darkness has its brand new hold
wrapping slowly round it goes ..taking light and turnin old
wrinkles soon do so appear..aging you and breathing fear
leave the light on so I say and shadows oh just go away

They creep and follow
Where none do go
The shadows hunt
The light no show

I felt them want to
take my depth
Reaching wanting darkness
Letch

Pray that light does shine on
through
The shadows follow
Wanting you

Feel their coldness
And be cold ..
Darkness has its brand new
Hold

Wrapping slowly round you go
Taking light and turning old
Wrinkles soon do so appear.
Aging you and breathing fear

Leave the light on
Do be scared
Shadows watching
Waiting near

I changed my life to have a life
yet life is live ...My only friend
My only hope is to see this through
To have no pain to beat the blue

No tears of sadness
No tears of grief
My sounds of madness in so deep
Sights and sounds so fill my swell
My lonely being my living hell

My mind is cursed from all the bad
I lived some life that few could have
now haunt it will inside my soul
my inner wisdom gone in cold

No sleep in peace for inner wins
my mind in turmoil talk all end
eyelids opened glazed all red
a sign of madness inner med's

a shake a fear of looks in down
this shame in live a life now hound
the wolfs can stay to keep me warm
its cold down here ...I fear the storm

Thin whispery clouds formed around the distant hills
as I looked out into the vastness
Moonlight reflected from the dew as the dawn did open
Little fairy's danced before my eyes seeing life be born
And the sky did open

Light became light to the roar of sunlight warming the earth
Shadows formed to hold the darkness of night just a little longer
I stretched to the start of a new days dawning
Feeling my skin warm to the glow of the fire started in the sky
Life was waking ..I was alive

Cool breath from the night still filled my lungs as I exhaled the dark
to breath in the day
The sweet sweet taste of morning felt so good so fresh so alive
This was the taste of Earth
This was the taste of living

The times that are a changing
change right in front of me
time to climb the olive tree ..time to set me free
times they are a changing..time to turn the key

age the soul but leave my mind
keep me young and fill my eyes
show me beauty show me love
live a life as i could

times they are a changing
changing life in time
time to live the life of good ..time to crack the mould
times they are for changing ..live your life be free

The sky on fire burned as fields lit to the night
sparked memories of another life so far away so lost in time
my youth so old yet my soul so young
wasted to the misery of a long forgotten train

a happy train with family and children
a holiday romance
now a lost empty yard where rust and weeds fill an ever lonely heart
such memories now ghosts of the past
yet pictures still here to remember
what once we all so had

i so wish that train would come ...again
take me to a a place where life was real and fun
fields on fire as holidays begun
memories of freedom a holiday and once i was young

Our freinds are that our family we love to have them stay
for food and entertainment its always meant that way
for laughs and lots of golfing and tons oh tons of chat
is great to see them yet again for loads of this and that

Our freinds that are our family are great to be around
making fires and washing pots thats what its all about
we hope so sure we'll see them soon in warmer climates bound
in sunny parts of Malaga a welcome home is found

Hearts beat another day
as life begins another thrown away
Times in wait another state
yet we all do follow the path
till end of days

Shame on life as time stands on time
to have wasted such a gift a wasted shift
mournful looks from the followed
as a sigh within goes unspoken
hear the din

Need the new to awake our eyes
as nature turns another tide
yet never seen within these ways
wall of steel stand blinded looks
a feel ....a lost lost touch  

no matter which the room the wait begins
it all becomes a wasted end
a name to carry in from the past
a voice hidden a record blast
a look from a face broken looked back

In this mind is a place I hide
Is a place I've been
and a place I've seen

My room of white ..
not a pretty sight
but it keeps me warm
safe from harm

My room of white
not seen out light
just a blackened hole
just my empty soul
  
You know the place
its fate we haste
when we close our eyes
memories ....lies

I could feel it coming for me
It's sound was whipped in time
The trees did give me warning
Crying out they cried

I ...can hear it calling ....out my name!!!!!!
I... can hear it calling ....out my name!!!!!!

Can you hear it calling me...
Can you hear it calling me...
Can you hear it calling me ......

The sound was getting louder
The noise became a din
My prickles on my skin did rise
My ears began to sing

Can you hear it calling out my name !!!!!
Can you hear it calling out my name !!!!!

My life was all but ended
Unless I found a way
The sounds they were a calling
Death was on its way

I ...can hear it calling ....out my name!!!!!!
I... can hear it calling ....out my name!!!!!!

Help me into silence
Hide me from the roar
Suffer me not this time
Death stay out my door

Can you hear it calling
can you hear the call

The monster from the sound that frights  
Is knocking on my door
He's coming after me tonight
I'm ready for the fight
